16GB P2 cards?

As far as I know, interframe compression isn't necessary with H.264 (a.k.a. MPEG-4 Part 10). From page 9 of the Sony SRW-5000/5500 brochure: "Yet another industry first from Sony is an integrated video encoding/decoding chipset that conforms to the MPEG-4 SP Studio Profile: ISO/IEC 14496-2:2001-1). The Studio Profile was created to specifically address the requirements of high-resolution image-production applications. It is free from GOP (Group Of Pictures) structures, and is scalable in its pixel count (SDTV, HDTV, Film-resolution data), bit depth (10- or 12-bit), and color resolution (component or RGB). In order to achieve maximum compression efficiency, the HDCAM-SR format resorts to intra-frame compression for progressive images. Intra-field compression is used for interlaced images."

Except for possibly increasing shooting durations, I don't see much point to H.264 encoding on the HVX. DVCProHD doesn't support 10-bit encoding or 4:4:4 chroma resolution, and even if Panasonic extended the format to include them, it isn't clear to me that the radical spatial offset of the HVX's CCDs would benefit much.

Stop it with all of that techno mumbo jumbo! ;)
